What He Said

8.09.2014

When I was out mowing the lawn the other day I noticed some pretty pink flowers on the edge of the wood line of our back yard below Mr. Savvy's garage. I even took a pic with my phone and shared them on instagram.

A couple days later I went out and cut some of the pink flowers to bring inside and noticed the yellow ones, too. I cut what few blooms I had on my hydrangea bush that did awful this year.

I got my enamelware pitcher out, filled it with water and placed the flowers inside.

I love how these look in the sitting room sitting on the antique French table front and center, but I like them on the vassilier, too.

Mr. Savvy noticed them and asked where I found the flowers. I told him below his garage along the wood line. I told him I was going share them on the blog and all of a sudden he breaks out in a bad "English" accent and said tell them you found these on the edge of our "estate". Oh yea, dear, I'll be sure and do that. Sometimes I don't know who this man is. I told y'all he is trying to take over this blog. Now he is telling me what to write. If he only knew how to use a camera and take good pictures.

I was told that golden rod usually doesn't cause allergies, it's ragweed that does, and it usually comes out at the same time as golden rod, and that is why people think they are allergic to it. I remember an old wives tale that says you have one month before the first frost after you see golden rod in bloom. Gosh I hope that's not true, although other years I have noticed they are very accurate predictors.

Kim...I know what you mean.From time to time my hubby will say...I think this or that would make a good blog post! I have tried to get him to write a KY short story for me. Still waiting on that! Ha!!!

Can't wait to see his garage and restoration project! I have an old truck in my barn in dire need of restoration and I need some inspiration!! Maybe he could even start his own blog: Savvy Southern Man! Hahaha!

Ha Ha Kim Mr. Savvy is too cute. Gotta love that man! . Maybe next time you are mowing the lawn you need to say to him the estate needs a gardner LOL! See what his reaction is to that!Love the estate flowers they are gorgeous in the iron stone pitcher. Have a great week end.Kris

Kim,Your arrangement is so beautiful and natural. I like so many others, didn't fair well with my hydrangeas this year due to the colder than usual winter. (Only three blooms on one and none on the other). At least my peonies loved the cold weather because they were just gorgeous this year.

BTW...my hubby always breaks out in his fake English accent when I watch "Downton Abbey". He still calls it "DOWNTOWN Abbey".

Really pretty, blue hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers...I do love the pink tinged one too, so pretty. I have just started to paint again and doing a large oil of a white peony and a burgandy peony, I will be sharing on the blog my progress at the end of the week if I can truly get stuck in this week. It will take some time to finish though.

I do love the furniture in your home, you have some wonderful antique pieces...very envious :)

Yes, J has been actively involved in BPM, especially since retirement. He enjoys those predawn jaunts along back roads with his crazy wife hanging out the window, telling him to back up 50 feet.:-) He is very good at toting cameras and dishes, as well.:-)

Why is it I hear so many people say their hydrangeas did so poorly this year? Mine too! And I didn't even prune them last year. As a matter of fact, I had more blooms than I knew what to do with last year but almost none this year. So disappointed!

nothing is prettier then a random bunch of flowers in a white pitcher.....and my Hydrangeas didn't even bloom one flower this season.....huge greens everywhere but not one sign of a bloom....I guess it was or cold winter...

My family never reads my blog either LOL! I even signed their emails up to get a copy. When they ask me what I'm doing around the house I just say "read the blog"! Thanks for sharing -love your dishes.
